Question
Anyone worked with custom Queues?
Just looking for tips and pitfalls to avoid. I am considering adding
another listener to the system to listen on various events of a subset
of parts (soft-types). If any action is to be taken, it does not have to
be processed right away and I want to avoid the listener blocking the
primary event from continuing. Basically, I have an outside database of
parts records I want to keep in sync with parts in PDMLink.
I am thinking of creating my own processing queue and have the listener
add entries (ProcessingQueue.addEntry(...)) to the queue. I can then
use the same process to do periodic syncs of the records (queue up all
the qualifying part records). API looks pretty straight forward. Am I
correct in assuming the following:
addEntry takes the following:
public QueueEntry
<file: c:\ptc\windchill_9.1\windchill\codebase\wt\clients\library\api\<br="/>wt\queue\QueueEntry.html> addEntry(WTPrincipal
<file: c:\ptc\windchill_9.1\windchill\codebase\wt\clients\library\api\<br="/>wt\org\WTPrincipal.html> princ,
String
<">http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/String.html>
t_method,
String
<">http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/String.html>
t_class,
Class
<">http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/Class.html> []
arg_types,
Object
<">http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/Object.html> [] args)
throws WTException
<file: c:\ptc\windchill_9.1\windchill\codebase\wt\clients\library\api\<br="/>wt\util\WTException.html>
The processing queue executes the QueueEntry which calls the class and
method above passing in the arguments and argument class types above.
This uses reflection, no?
